What is hydroponic farming?

The word hydroponic is derived from two Greek words, “hydro” meaning water and “ponos” meaning labour, and the meaning of the term hydroponic literally means water-working. This is a method originated in Israel, Hydroponic farming basically means growing plants without soil, and also growing plants directly with nutrient-rich water rather than soil. This type of farming can be done majorly in temperature controlled environment and through vertical indoor farming.

Why hydroponic farming?

Unlike traditional farming, very few resources like water, oxygen, light, root support, and nutrients are required for hydroponic farming. The soil-less farming system can do wonders to the world. Know how Factors such as improper/infertile soil and frequent climate changes make traditional farming difficult:

• Infertile soil: Major types of soil in India are alluvial soil, black soil, red soil, laterite soil, desert soil, etc; however, even if India has no shortage of variety of soil, it is also important to note that the farmers in India are majorly from rural areas and, ill-informed farming practices and indiscriminate use of fertilizers in can suck away the micronutrients and groundwater from the soil, causing a situation of soil infertility.
• Frequent climate changes: Climate change can challenge farmers in several ways, the rainfall patterns in India has already began shifting, this can mean only two things, intense rainfall at one period of time and absolute dryness in the other periods. The increasing period of summer season is also challenging for the farmers.

Today most of the fruits and vegetables you eat come from across the border and they lose their nutritional value on the way, hydroponic farming gives you the benefit of locally grown and nutritionally rich and healthy fruits and vegetables.
